14.1 TORSION OF PRISMATIC BARS
Figure 14.1 illustrates a member experiencing torsion The member in this case is cylindrical with length L and radius r0 The base is fixed, and a torque is applied at the top surface, which causes the member to twist The twist at height z is θ(z), and
at height L, it is θ0 Ordinarily, in the finite-element problems so far considered, the displacement is the basic unknown It is approximated by an interpolation model, from which an approximation for the strain tensor is obtained Then, an approximation for the stress tensor is obtained using the stress-strain relations The nodal displacements are solved by an equilibrium principle, in the form of the Principle of Virtual Work In the current problem, an alternative path is followed in which stresses or, more precisely, a stress potential, is the unknown The strains are determined from the stresses However, for arbitrary stresses satisfying equilibrium, the strain field may not be compatible The compatibility condition (see Chapter 4) is enforced, furnishing

a partial differential equation known as the Poisson Equation A variational argument
is applied to furnish a finite-element expression for the torsional constant of the section
For the member before twist, consider points X and Y at angle φ and at radial position r Clearly, X=r cosφ and Y=r sinφ Twist induces a rotation through angle
θ(z), but it does not affect the radial position Now, x=r cos(φ+θ), y=r sin(φ+θ) Use of double-angle formulae furnishes the displacements, and restriction to small angles θ furnishes, to first order,
(14.1)
It is also assumed that torsion does not increase the length of the member, which
is attained by requiring that axial displacement w only depends on X and Y The quantity w(X, Y) is called the warping function
It is readily verified that all strains vanish except E xz and E yz, for which
(14.2)
Equilibrium requires that
(14.3)
The equilibrium relation can be identically satisfied by a potential function y
for which
(14.4)
We must satisfy the compatibility condition to ensure that the strain field arises from a displacement field that is unique to within a rigid-body translation and rotation (Compatibility is automatically satisfied if the displacements are considered the unknowns and are approximated by a continuous interpolation model Here, the stresses are the unknowns.) From the stress-strain relation,

Compatibility (integrability) now requires that , furnishing

For boundary conditions, assume that the lateral boundaries of the member are unloaded The stress-traction relation already implies that τx= 0 and τy= 0 on the lateral boundary S For traction τz to vanish, we require that

14.2.1.1 Static Buckling
Under in-plane compressive loads, the resistance of a thin member (beam or plate)
can be reduced progressively, culminating in buckling There are two equilibrium
states that the member potentially can sustain: compression only, or compression
with bending The member will “snap” to the second state if it involves less “potential
energy” than the first state The notions explaining buckling are addressed in detail in
subsequent chapters For now, we will focus on beams and plates, using classical
equations in which, by retaining lowest-order corrections for geometric nonlinearity,
in-plane compressive forces appear

as w(x) = ϕϕϕϕT

At x = 0, both δ w and −δw′ vanish, while the shear force V and the bending
moment M are identified as V = −EIw′′′ and M = −EIw′′ The “effective shear force”
Q is defined as Q = −Pw′ − EIw′′′.
For the specific case illustrated in Figure 14.3, for a one-element model, we can
use the interpolation formula

14.2.1.3 Sample Problem: Interpretation of Buckling Modes
Consider static buckling of a clamped-clamped beam, as shown in Figure 14.5
This configuration can be replaced with two beams of length L, for which the right beam experiences shear force V1 and bending moment M1, while the left beam
experiences shear force V0− V1 and bending moment M0− M1 The beam on the right is governed by
(14.26)
The governing equation is written in finite-element form as
(14.27)
Consider the symmetric case in which M0= 0, with the implication that w′(L) = 0.
The equation reduces to
(14.28)
from which we obtain the critical buckling load given by P1= 10EI/L2

Next, consider the antisymmetric case in which V0= 0 and w(L) = 0 The
coun-terpart of Equation 14.28 is now
(14.29)
and P2= 30EI/L2
If neither the constraint of symmetry nor axisymmetry is applicable, there are two critical buckling loads, to be obtained in Exercise 2 as and These values are close enough to the symmetric and antisymmetric cases to suggest an interpretation
of the two buckling loads as corresponding to the two “pure” buckling modes Compare the obtained values with the exact solution, assuming static
condi-tions Consider the symmetric case Let w(x) = w c (x) + w p (x), in which w c (x) is the characteristic solution and w p (x) is the particular solution reflecting the per-turbation From the Euler buckling equation demonstrated in Equation 14.17, w c (x) has a general solution of the form w c (x) = α + βx + γ cosκx + δ sinκx, in which
κ = Now, w = −w′ = 0 at x = 0, −w′(L) = 0, and EIw′′′(L) = V1, expressed
as the conditions

or otherwise stated
(14.31)
For the solution to “blow up,” it is necessary for the matrix B to be singular,
which it is if the corresponding homogeneous problem has a solution Accordingly,
we seek conditions under which there exists a nonvanishing vector z, for which Bz = 0 Direct elimination of α and β furnishes α = −γ and β = −κδ The remaining coefficients must satisfy

A nonvanishing solution is possible only if the determinant vanishes, which reduces to sinκL = 0 This equation has many solutions for kL, including kL = 0 The lowest nontrivial solution is kL = p, from which P crit= π2
EI/L2= 9.87 EI/L2
Clearly, the symmetric solution in the previous two-element model (P crit = 10 EI/L2
) gives an accurate result
For the antisymmetric case, the corresponding result is that tanκL = κL The lowest meaningful root of this equation is kL = 4.49 (see Brush and Almroth, 1975),
giving P crit = 20.19 EI/L2
Clearly, the axisymmetric part of the two-element model is not as accurate, unlike the symmetric part This issue is addressed further in the subsequent exercises
Up to this point, it has been implicitly assumed that the beam column is initially perfectly straight This assumption can lead to overestimates of the critical buckling
load Consider a known initial distribution w0(x) The governing equation is
(14.33)
or equivalently,
(14.34)
The crookedness is modeled as a perturbation Similarly, if the cross-sectional properties of the beam column exhibit a small amount of variation, for example,
EI(x) = EI0[1 + ϑ sin(πx/L)], the imperfection can also be modeled as a perturbation
